LECTURES #12&13: Direct Kernel Methods

This lecture will introduce the paradigm of direct kernel methods, which reconciles neural networks, statistical multivariate regression and support vector machines in a single framework. Direct kernel methods assume a kernel transform as a data preprocessing step, rather than an inherent part of the learning method. By applying a direct kernel transform, traditional methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Ridge Regression, Partial Least Squares (PLS), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) or simple one-layered neural networks, can be transformed into powerful nonlinear modeling and machine learning tools.

This presentation will highlight several industrial applications of direct kernel methods such as network intrusion detection, the detection of ischemia from magnetocariograms, in-silico drug design, the electronic nose, gene expression arrays, and the detection of mixtures of chemical substances from spectral data.
